The joint 3rd Palenc, 5th EPIC and 1st Cool Roofs Conference focus on the application of passive cooling techniques in the urban environment and in buildings with emphasis on heat mitigation techniques. The scope of this conference includes all aspects of technology related to urban and building design, dealing with passive cooling techniques able to improve the environmental performance of urban spaces and buildings. Papers related on urban micro climate, ventilation, solar control, thermal mass, thermal comfort, landscaping, cool roofs, low energy architecture, innovative components and materials, standardization and legislation, advanced and alternative air conditioners, demand side management, etc. will be presented.
Intensive research carried out during the last years has permitted to
develop new technologies, components, materials and techniques that
permit to decrease ambient temperature in cities, improve outdoor
comfort and decrease seriously or even eliminate the cooling demand of
buildings. Many examples of bioclimatic urban areas have been developed
and monitored while very low energy consumption for cooling new
generation buildings have been realized and monitored.
